MIR. PARNELL'S HEALTH,

After all 1t would seem as If Mir. Par
nell's health was in a critical condition.
For some time past it has been no Sc
cret that the great Irish leader was Ia
boring under difficulties OF critical ma
ture, but it was not believed that they
were SO strious as not to be overcome
by careful attendance, and skillful
medical aid, but it is now feared that
such is the case. A. correspondent re-
marks that he is in a position to state
that Mir. Parnel]'s health is not only
serious but alarming. However. it is to
be hoped that he will not be compelled
to abandon the struggle in which he is
now engaged for Irish self government.
In the loss of Mr.. Parne!l the friends Of
Ireland would lose a cDol-headed leader
and one who has done more iii advo-
eating the cause than any other living
man. Let us hope that his illness will
not be of long duration.

WHY NOT LECTURE I'm CANADA?

The arrival Of William O'Brieu, edi-
tor of United Ireland, III Canada, does
not appear to be understood in it's true
light. Even supporters Of the Home
Rule cause have YeEtured an objection
to Mr. O'Brien's lectnring tour; but
from no quarter does the objection come
SO emphatic as from those who would
desire to curry favor with the mush-
room aristocracy which is springing up
in Canada. Evidences Of this are Oc-
curing daily.
MI, q Brjen does not come to Canada
TO raise uisunion amongst the different
classes which compose the community,
nor yet to prejudice the Canadian PEG
pie against the form OF Government
under which they have chosen to live,
but to expose the hypocrisy Of Lord
L.ansdowne, the Governor-G General of
the Dominion. If the Canadians will
only listen and learn from the lips of
MI. OBrien of the extreme brutality of
Lansdowne and his agents in Ireland
they will then, we have no doubt.
justify the accusations, which will be
accompanied by evidence Of an incon-
troyertihle nature, Of the talented edi-
tor Of United ireland. MIR. O:Brien
will not tell them anything but what
he can move, and therefore it is hard
to see why ANY objection can be justifi-
ably raised to his visit to Canada.
Surely the Canadians, 40 matter bow
loyal they are TO the Queen, are not UNI
willing to be convinced That they have
llarbOred in tiseir midst Il man who is ,lr.
worthy Of their confidence aud respect.
Such man Lord Lans1owna certainly
is, and we will be very much surprised
if, after The question is yentilate ed, the
tyranny of this man will not cause a
terrible revulsion Of feeling against
him

DAYITT BRANCH MEETINGS.

AS will be seen by g reference to our
local columns the meetings in connec-
ton with the Davitt brauch will be re-
sumed on Friday, May II, and they will
be held every alternate Friday follow
ing. The object of making them semi
monthly during the hot summer even
ings is obvious.
It is earnestly hoped that the attend
ance will be increased. Now, perhaps,
is the most critical moment in the his
tory of the Irish struggle. Now is the
time when Ireland requires our assist
ance, and to our credit be said that we
will not forget them III the hour of
their need. lreland's battle is the fight
of every man who was born on the
gleen.sod: and whose parents were born
there, and who is interested in the
cause Of liberty. At this time let us
exhibit no luke warm feeling in regard
to the cause which is agtating our
friends Throughout the civilized world.
In 10 way can this be shown better
than by attending regularly and partie-
ipating iii the regular m, etings Of the
Dayitt Branch

TIE VOICE OF CHICAGO.
Few, if any Of the meetings that b;

Few, if any of the meetings that have
been held on this continent to give ex-
preston to the sentiments of the people
respecting the Coercion Bill now pend
ing in the British Parliament have
enthusiastically none excelled-that
of Chicago last Monday evening. This
is just what might be expected. The
speeches were Of more than the usual
order of intelligence and the question
was placed clearly and concisely before
the six thousand people who assembled
on the occasion. On Of the most in
teresting features of the evening was
the speech Of Mayor Roche. He showed
by his utterances that he had mastered
all the intricacies Of the perplexing
question of Irish lf-goyernment, and
everything he said gave evidence Of sim
certify. We cannot refrain from taking
All extract from his speech as reported
in the Chicago papers Speaking OF the
bill, he said: "This atrocious bill has
already been read second time, and
will be passed unless the British people
are aroused to sense Of its disgrace
and enforcement. 1t is a declaration
on the part of the Tory Government
that Ireland shall be held by force Of
martial law under the form and dis
guise Of official tyranny-an admission
that the Gladstone-Parnell plan of
Home Rule is the solution of the prob
lem now engaging the attention of
English statesmen. In this age no pop
ular government can be maintained
which does not rest upon the will of the
governed. Force cannot endure
against the liberty-loying instincts Of
All earnest and united people. The civ
ilized world is in sympathy with Glad
stone and Parnell in their resistance to
this attempt to bild and gag the Irish
people. Persevering under the joint
leadership Of these two great statesmen
in just and honorable methods Of peace
full agitation and Constitutional resist
ance, the demands of ireland cannot
long be denied or DELAYED. An appeal
has been taken not to Irish opinion in
the United States, but to the judg-
ment Of American public opinion, and
[ need not ask what the verdict will
be- Chicago has cause to feel proud ct
81 mayor who could give expression to
such sentiments. Too much import
ance cannot he attached to a meeting
like the one held in that city; and that
it will WELD a healthy influence on Che
great question now affecting Ireland is
beyond the shadow of doubt.

AN ARMY OF FoRGERs.

Since the dastardly attempt Of the
London Times to cast suspicion upon
Mr.. Parnell IN connection with the
Phoenix Park murders, the newspaper
offices Of the great city have been liter
ally deluged with notes from furgers
who are willing to produce letters
which they will swear were written at
some time by members of the Irish Par
liamentary party. The Pail Mall Ga
Zette has been offered dozens of such
letters, but the forgers came to the
wrong market. This fact will illustrate
how easily it is for the London Times
to secure ''fac-similes'' Of such letters
as they have recently published. The
Thunderer evidently did not believe
that the subject which they brought up
would be ventilated in the manner it
has. The bubble has been exploded,
and the people can now see how far the
Tories will stoop to gain their point.

JOHN DILI.ON'S NEW PLAN.

That astute statesman, John Dillon, is
bound, even if coercion does pass, to
counteract It's power in Ireland. The
tel egraphjc dispatches stale that at d
meeting of the National League in
Dublin last Tusday, Mr. Dillon said
he had clearly in his mind Il line of pol
icy for the people Of Ireland, which he
would produce at The proper moment
and knock the bottom out OF the COer-
cion Bill. When the Coercion Bill was
passed The landlords would find that
the plan Of campaign would continue
without the slightest interruption or
inconvenience. His proposed policy
would involve neither crime nor violent
resistance of law, but was q system OF
combination, So perfect that the people
would be induced TO act SO loyalty to-
wards each other that they would not
revert to crime on any outrage.
From this it would appear that the
Tories calculated without taking men
like MI. Dillon into consideration. The
Coercion Bill If rightly battled against
can never amount to more than "a dead
letter OH the statute books Of Great
Britain

VICTORIES JUBILEE.

One week from next Tuesday is the
anniversary of the birthday Of Queen
Victoria. On that day sixty weight
Years ago the reigning sovereign of
Great Britain first saw the light of day.
We do not mean to congratulate nol
yet to offer our consultations to the Brit
ish people on the event. What we wish
to speak of is the deplorab]e attempt Of
q certain class to induce people to
throw away their money in order to
celebrate the accession Of this same
Queen to the throne Of England. Vic
toria is no better nor perhaps worse
than the majority of her sex, and prob
ab]ynine out Of every ten would have
conducted the affairs of the nation in
so fa2. as she is concerned, as we'll and
possibly better than she has. Why then
should she be worshipped for doing
What anybody elsa cnn|,l have and
would have done equality as we'll ? The
kilograms state ;hal Sl00,OOu have been
subscribed by the Australian colonies
towards celebrating tile jubilee, and
that q large donation is also expected
from Canada. Possibly the first state.
ment may be true, but we doubt the
latter exceedingly. Canadians have
paid pretty dearly for all the royalty
which they have ever had anything to
do with. Their representatives of roy"
atty at the present time costs them
something in the neighborhood of $780,
GOO per year,-a large amount Of which
is spent in prosecuting the Irish people
and it is nol likely that they will care
much about spending any more.
Looking back over the fifty years
which Victoria has sat upon the throne
Of England, we dare anybody to point
out one single act which should place
her in advance of her sex, and more
worthy of respect. She does not hold
the position because nobody could be
found to fill it, but simply because She
was descendant of a long iine of rob
ters who have lived in state OF attlu-
ence at the expense Of the common peo-
pie. She has never expressed ahumane
feeling for her people when they suf-
fered from want and accompanied it
with anything substantial to alleviate
the suffering. Therefore. we ask, why
should her people evince more than
passing interest in the fact that she has
been burden ON them for fifty years.

THE INDUSTRIES OF IRELAND.

In all OF the speeches delivered the
Irish question. one thing is invariably
lost sight Of. 1t is the question Of the
trade relations between England and
Ireland. Since the days of William.
Prince Of Orange: it has been the one
great object OF English statesmen and
manufacturers to absorb the manufac~
turing interests of Ireland. The means
devised to bring about this end are
not particle more dishonorable than
varied This is England's real objec-
ton to satisfy the national aspirations
of the Irish people. or course the
English people are ashamed to avow
this publicly. The fact is, as an ex
charge remarks, the English people
know that if they allow Ireland to leg
is'ate tor herself, she will in due course
OF time follow the example. Of the COL
onies, ard in sheer preservation
tax the imports from the mother
country. Now this is a question OF
vital Importance to England. The for
eign and colonial trade of Great Britain
is showing a most serious falling off.
The difference between that Il last
year and that of the year previous
amounted to $240, 600 900, while a COM
parison With the figures Of 1854 show a
diminution Of $500, 100000. The Eng
lish merchants find themselves sup
planted in all the markets Of the world.
AT the present time Irel; nd depends
entirely upon England for all OF its
manufactured goods. The question OF
the coal trade is one which fully illus
trates the way England has grown com.
paratively prosperous at the expense OF
her neigbbor, Although coal is most
abundant in Ireland, which possesses
the most extensive coal fields. over
1900, coo tons Of English coal are an
nually imported into the country. The
WOODEN cloth used III Ireland comes
from English looms, and even the once
boosted linen Industry in Ulster is COM
pletelv paraIyZea by the fact that under
present circun~ tances both the Scotch
and English manufacturers are abl3 to
undersell the homemade fabrics. For
several hundred years past England I'M
DiushiDg}y imposed restrictive legisla-
ton SO as 10 check Irish industry
wherever it threatened to interfere with
English trade. Although the laws
themselves have in a measure been re-
paaled, vet their baneful efforts remain.
For. with the immense hold which the
English manufacturers have got on the
Irish market. it is aln,os5 Impossible for
the native industries to expect to Dust
them until some kind Of d protective
legislation is introduced. 1t is the
knowledge that Home Rule will in the
natural course of things eventually lead
to this which is at the bottom Of John
Bulls opposition thereto.

of that city have not been a bit better

warfare until he has succeeded in maxi
ing Chicago as much noted for its good
morals as what it has been in the past
in the opposite direction.

TO the effect that the St. Anthony En-

on the committee from the First ward.

do with engineering public dance and
he does not propose to dose at this late
day Of his life, and that should settle it.
